Troubleshooting
Are there issues with any of your projects?
First, check the list of known issues to see if the issue is known. The article contains issues that address bugs or conflicts with your hardware, plug-ins, or other software and how you can take action to continue editing your projects.
With the 23.2 release, you can also press the Alt/Option key on launch to perform key troubleshooting steps from the new Reset Options dialog box, like resetting preferences and removing media cache files.
With key fixes in the 23.1 release behind us, there are a few issues that are affecting certain editors. The List of Known Issues document addresses issues with Windows PCs running an NVIDIA card:
- Premiere Pro crashes after updating NVIDIA drivers. Workaround: Update to the 528.49 studio drivers to be free of the problem.
- If the NVIDIA GeForce application is open while editing with Premiere Pro, it may crash. Workaround:
- If you have NVIDIA GeForce Experience running while you are using Adobe Premiere Pro and are experiencing issues, please quit the GeForce Experience application and restart Premiere Pro.
- Playing Apple ProRes RAW after updating to NVIDIA’s latest drivers may cause a crash. A workaround is not available when this article was published. We are working with the team to provide more info as it becomes available.
Featured Adobe Premiere Pro Community Expert
"Kelsey fell in love with video production at a young age. Kelsey was inspired by family friends who worked for ILM (industrial light and magic) for the films The Hulk and Pirates of the Caribbean. Kelsey knew she needed to be a part of the Cinema Magic.
During her university coursework at UCSB, she studied abroad in Melbourne, Australia at La Trobe University, taking courses in Australian TV. She was hired by the university to make short films about student life there. Later, she worked in the campus’s Digital Editing Lab and at the Apple Retail Store. Then, she realized her love for teaching and helping others have an “aha!” moment. She received her BA from UCSB Film & Media Studies in 2011.
Later, she was accepted into the Masters Program in Communication, Culture & Technology at Georgetown. While there she completed a documentary thesis and assisted in teaching undergraduate film courses with Heidi Ewing, an oscar nominated documentary filmmaker, films Jesus Camp and Detropia.
Upon graduation in 2013 she realized that while she loved teaching, she also wanted to create more, so, she landed a job as a Video Producer/Editor for the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs at the U.S. Department of State. There, she produced short documentaries about state funded Study Abroad programs and helped provide social media video training to Embassies. Her highlight while working at State was going to Morocco to film short 8 documentaries.
Kelsey soon realized she wanted to create her own company, and she got the idea to provide “tech editing help” on YouTube, uploading her first tutorial there. She hasn’t looked back since. She now runs her digital media company “Gal Media Creative” with her wife and partner producing high-quality tutorial content for the YouTube channel with over 438,000 subscribers."
The care you show for the Premiere Pro community with your YouTube videos has been a positive force, Kelsey. We also thank you for all your wisdom, knowledge, and willingness to share with us. Many of us have watched her videos. Have you ever been helped by Kelsey? If so, drop her a note here if you have a moment.
